GTO Price
#21
Why drive a 1/4 mile at a time? Certainly there are longer roads where you live. I plan to drive my GTO a lot. To gear it solely for 1/4 mile times at the expense of everyday driving dynamics is a mistake in my opinion. I only posted the times as a point of reference for sawedoff who has "many different cars he'd rather own for that money". Then again, you already knew that now didn't you Neo?

you guys are kidding yourselves if you think this car in it's current guise is going to be a big hit. It may command msrp and dealer markup initially but you cannot compare it to the demand for the SSR, ZO6, or that new dodge sport truck (can't remember the name). The engine is great and there is no doubt it will perform but aesthetically it's nothing more than a cross between a honda accord and a gran prix. I'd buy a mustang first.
another boner by GM

What appeals to me about the GTO is that its a classy powerful car, has an engine I'm familiar with, driveline I'm familiar with, and is basically a hugely upgraded car for cruising. In a dream world I'd like the GTO to cruise to work with, and the Trans Am to drag with.
